Scrimshaw Good Riddance, KBRA

Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

Editor: Your article about the demise of the KBRA exemplifies the distorted thinking that promoted this deal (“Uncharted Waters,” Jan. 14). Proponents claimed it was necessary to guarantee water for industrial agriculture because no dam has ever been removed without a negotiated settlement.

The era of dam removals has just begun, so there are only a few cases to provide precedent.

But the settlement agreements for two west coast dams removed within the last decade, the Marmot and the Elwha, do not resemble the KBRA. These agreements focus on managing sediment, relocating a fish hatchery, controlling noxious weeds, etc. They do not negate water rights for Indian tribes or remove the government’s obligation to protect tribal water and fishing rights, as the KBRA did.

Regarding the KBRA, the lawyer for the Hoopa Tribe, Tom Schlosser, in a May 2014 Siskiyou Daily News article said, “As a result, the first priority for Klamath River surface water will go to the Klamath Irrigation District (diversions of 378,000 acre-feet per year), regardless of the effect on fish restoration.

“When, after those diversions, too little water remains for fish, then not only will the United States be unable to protect Indian fishing rights, it will be obligated to oppose those rights. That is, the U.S. will enforce the KBRA priority given to water diversions for irrigation.”

KBRA supporters either denied that this new paradigm was part of the deal, or they claimed that the promised restoration money could somehow compensate for too little water flowing down the river. Without sufficient flows, the river will never be healed, regardless of how much money is spent.

The collapse of the KBRA is good news. We can now proceed with dam removal by following the established, legal procedures and without eliminating tribal water rights, which happen to be the most powerful tool for ensuring sufficient stream flows.

A seascape of luminous ivory scrimshaws itself into view.

As if they were the dusk of the gods, rolling fog and sea spray entwine like Canova’s Three Graces.

In the harbor, fishing boats bob and sway at anchor, moored in a milky tableau vivant; water slaps gently against the hulls.

A bell buoy clangs elsewhere, muffled by the pelting showers, its toll as plaintive as Satie’s Gnossiennes.

The bell is a ghost’s soliloquy; not a seagull can be heard.

The interminable drizzle has silenced even those raucous creatures.

They sit afloat and inert, each a precarious still life, a transient frieze, soon to vanish in nature’s untamed impermanence.

The lighthouse stands deadpan, bronze plated with the forgotten names of the vanquished, lost in the remorseless sea.

Sailors’ bones are their own bleak scrimshaw, adrift on Neptune’s continent of ebony depths, ridden by tides beating to geological time.

— Paul Mann

What’s So Funny ‘bout…

Editor: Thank you, Chip Sharpe, for reminding the Journal and its readers about the significant story of the relaunching of the first peace boat, The Golden Rule, and its home harbor here in Humboldt (“Mailbox,” Jan. 7). As I read more of last week’s issue of our free weekly newspaper, it made me realize how important peace stories are to our world and I suggest that a special section or column dedicated to peace work be featured regularly. There are many wonderful stories, large and small, out there to be told and shared. Yes, we can benefit by reading about peace as much as pot.

Play it Safe Editor: While I was happy to see the Van Halen “no brown M&M’s” tour rider mentioned in your featured article (“Creature Comforts,” Dec. 24), which I found funny, for the record, I wished the author had noted the reason why Van Halen mentioned “No brown M&M’s” in the first place.

This came about for a very specific reason. During a (crazy) show the band almost died/was seriously injured during a pyrotechnics malfunction. Someone

hadn’t fully read the tour rider, where it clearly stated how much power the band would need, and what safety precautions needed to be met.

Ever since that near-explosive night, the band needed a way to make sure that the tour rider had been read to the “t,” so if they put “no brown M&M’s” on their rider sheet, came into the dressing room, saw brown M&M’s in the bowl, they knew immediately there may be issues and perhaps they wouldn’t perform. Safety first folks!

For bands coming through and playing our local venues, perhaps a rider may not be need to be gone over by a lawyer, but

Last week’s article “The Sticking Point” contained a misspelling. The correct name of the Humboldt Area Center for Harm Reduction member featured in the accompanying photo is Michelle Ellis.

Also, in “DIY Wine Tour,” the correct name of the owner of Dutcher Crossing Winery is Nick Briggs and his parents live in Willow Creek. The Journal regrets the errors.

often times, it’s lawyers themselves who help draft the riders up.

I have many friends who put on shows, promoters local and in cities afar, who have told me the famous brown M&M’s story. In your article’s write-up about all the charitable and funny stuff, unicorn heads and all, you neglected to mention why the brown M&M’s was put into play in the first place.

Safety — before all the fun and music can be enjoyed, by both fans and musicians. We don’t need anyone injured due to faulty electrical, poor placement of stage props, speakers, or just plain laziness to read the bands’ requests in the first place on the part of the hosting promoter/venue.

Planning commissioners are ‘outraged’ at county staff

By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com

S Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

ince the beginning of January, the board of supervisors has been working diligently to cobble together a medical marijuana land use ordinance from a slew of parts: a year-long private drafting process, multiple planning staff drafts, dozens of hours of public comment, and a monthlong planning commission review.

As the supervisors narrowed in (they were finalizing language as the Journal went to press, and will bring the ordinance back for a final reading Jan. 26) they largely followed the planning staff’s guidance, adhering to relatively strict canopy sizes, disallowing new grows in timber production zones, and sticking to regulations they hope will avoid litigation from environmental groups. This was a different direction from the more grower-friendly regulations the planning commission had sought with its ordinance recommendations.

The supervisors’ limits on grows, as the Journal has reported, are a strategy to align the ordinance with its associated mitigated negative declaration, a document that removes the burden of conducting a lengthy environmental review. The mitigated negative declaration was based on that of the state water board’s environmental program from last year, and, after the planning commission finished its review of the ordinance, planning staff warned that the commission’s changes would allow a scale of cultivation beyond what the water board accounted for and negate the declaration. Environmental groups all but threatened to sue, which would’ve sunk the effort to enact the ordinance by March 1.

The supervisors’ general concurrence with the staff is sure to be rankling the planning commission, which, at its Jan. 7 meeting — the first since staff consolidated the commission’s 10-meeting endurance run — expressed outrage at the staff report forwarded on to the supervisors.

Though the move would have had “no binding force or effect,” in the words of

Commissioner Lee Ulansey, he and Chair Robert Morris tried really, really, really hard to raise their hands and say they had no confidence in the county’s planning and building department. This, despite the fact that the subject appeared nowhere on the Jan. 7 meeting’s agenda.

At the end of the meeting, Morris raised concerns over the staff report, saying the topic of the draft’s adherence to the mitigated negative declaration was brought up multiple times during the commission review.

Commissioner Ben Shepherd said he was disappointed to read in the staff report that the commission’s direction on timber production zones was determined by staff to be out of line with the general plan. He would’ve liked to know that before it was submitted to the supervisors, he said.

Ulansey gave more vague complaints — which he chalked up to “deliberate bias” on the part of planning staff — accusing them of “misrepresenting and not completely representing public testimony at public meetings, not following through on our votes.”

When staff first introduced the draft ordinance in October, supervisors Ryan Sundberg and Estelle Fennell, who’d served on the medical marijuana focus group, expressed surprise and disappointment, saying it drifted away from an ordinance prepared by local political action committee California Cannabis Voice Humboldt.

At the Jan. 7 meeting, Ulansey suggested that the planning commission, in its review, was just trying to make the supervisors happy by making it look more like the private group’s draft. “[The board] made it pretty clear that wasn’t the direction they want to go and I think we all heard that direction and tried to pursue it,” he said.

Whether the commission’s role is to please the supervisors or review draft legislation for legality and adherence with the county’s general plan and other codes Continued on page 8

is up for debate. Planning commissions are often used to solicit community and statutory input, according to Pepperdine University professor of public policy Michael Shires, who said it’s not unreasonable for a planning commission to submit concerns about a draft ordinance to the supervisors.

While some supervisors expressed dissatisfaction to the media when the draft was released, instructions to the planning commission didn’t suggest any specific direction when reviewing the ordinance.

According to the minutes of the Oct. 13 supervisors meeting, “a motion was made to direct Planning staff to present the Planning Commission with a chart showing a range of alternatives for their consideration and to clarify their latitude to modify provisions of the draft ordinance as presented.”

Commissioners Kevin McKenny and Alan Bongio also expressed disappointment in the draft submitted to supervisors, but the board has mostly been in agreement over even the more controversial points since they’ve been reviewing it. Sundberg, apparently the last holdout over the prohibition of new grows on timber production zones, acquiesced during the supervisors’ Jan. 12 meeting, and the board voted unanimously to include the restriction.

But the planning commission’s weirdness continued. Morris pointed with both hands at empty chairs where planning staff had sat during the commission hearings on the ordinance and asked, “Does the commission still have confidence, in the staff that sit at those tables and gave us their

advice during the 10 meetings we had?

Because I certainly have a big problem with trust and I think, to a certain extent, it’s almost a breach of the public trust.”

This prompted Shepherd to weigh in, saying he was uncomfortable taking any kind of vote on an item that wasn’t on the agenda, citing the author of California’s public meeting law. “I think we’re kind of trouncing all over Ralph M. Brown here,” he said, adding later that he thought the planning staff in question deserved to be present to respond to the commission’s allegations.

County Counsel Jeffrey S. Blanck agreed, mostly. “Voting and all that nature should be on an item that the public would be able to come in and see and hear what you have to say, and know that you’re going to talk about it,” Blanck said, adding that another commissioner’s suggestion to put the item on a future agenda wasn’t “trying to muzzle the commissioners in any way.”

But Morris and Ulansey — despite their own previous championship of transparency laws which mushroomed into a lengthy and costly lawsuit with the county — persisted.

“I did not hear the counselor say that we were in violation of the Ralph M. Brown act,” Morris said.

“My recommendation,” Blanck reiterated, “because it appears you’re all interested, is to put it on [a future agenda]. That’s the safest way to go.”

Morris continued, “This has nothing to do with the public. This has to do with the Continued on page 11

Optimize your health, With Acupuncture! staff. This is an internal staff matter that the commission has with the staff.”

“But unfortunately,” Blanck responded, “the Brown Act puts a label on you that when you’re here together, acting in concert, it’s required to be noticed to the public. It can be housekeeping, it can be whatever. The topic isn’t really the concern of the Brown Act.” Ulansey suggested that the hands-raising was simply a straw-vote — routine for the commission to gauge support — but commissioner Noah Levy also expressed concern, saying he wasn’t aware of the commission ever taking a straw vote on an item that wasn’t on the agenda.

Eventually, Morris gave in. “The purpose for my question for the raise of hands was to figure out if it was a significant issue to agendize,” he said. The commissioners seemed to agree that, after 30 minutes of conversation about the issue, yes, it was worth discussing.

But even that may prove contentious.

Morris seemed unsure how to direct staff.

“We will have this as a discussion — as an action item — a discussion item I guess it should be …”

“I think it’s action,” Ulansey interjected.

“As an item on the agenda,” Morris continued. It appears on the Jan. 21 agenda as a discussion item, meaning the commission can’t take a formal vote of no confidence.

Meanwhile, Rob Wall, the county’s recently appointed interim planning director, said he’s taking the commission’s allegations seriously. At the meeting he told them, “That kind of accusation definitely raises my blood pressure. … Certainly my first planning commission meeting getting a vote of no confidence on some of my key staff members isn’t probably the best way to go.”

Reached by phone later, Wall said that “the planning commission obviously does not have the authority to govern personnel matters — that is my job.”

He said he’s been looking into the commissioners’ allegations, focusing on the staff’s determination after the hearings that the commissioners’ recommendations would exceed the mitigated negative declaration. “With regard to not following instructions, I’m doing what everybody else who has some interest in this process is doing: reviewing the votes and the documentation. We’ll have that discussion, with the findings, on the 21st.”

He added that none of the commissioners have reached out to him about specific directions that his staff ignored, though he welcomed that sort of input.

But he indicated he supported the staff report. “We have an obligation to the

board — as do our legal staff — to let them know what we professionally find legally defensible.”

The issue appears to be a continuation of disputes between property rights advocates and Humboldt County that’s been simmering for years. Morris and Ulansey formed the Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights, which famously fought against former Planning Director Kirk Girard’s department before he left in 2012. Bongio, who owns a construction company, seemed to reference that fight at the Jan. 7 meeting. “I believe what we saw through this process was, unfortunately, what we saw for many years not too many years ago,” he told Wall. “I would hope, especially with new leadership, that you’d make it clear to your staff members that it’s their job to do their job and not their agenda.”

Shires, the public policy professor, said the staff’s role, as employees of the public, is to help the commission make correct planning decisions. “Typically, they are some of the planning commission’s greatest supporters,” he said. The commission, in turn, is entrusted (by their appointing supervisors) with decision-making on planning matters — though any commission decision is appealable to the board of supervisors.

Whether staff acted out of line depends on what changes were made, why and how the planning commission’s charter defines its role, Shires said. (The Journal was unable to review the charter by press deadline.)

Short deadlines, longstanding disputes and frustrations on both sides appear to have created an unusual situation. Shires said it’s uncommon for there to be rancor between a planning commission and planning staff.

“The idea of taking a no-confidence vote in staff — I’ve never heard of that” he said. ●

PTSD and Cannabis

P

ost traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or seeing a terrifying event.

Common symptoms of PTSD include anger, nervousness, anxiety, guilt, issues with sleep, depression, and headaches. Patients as well as family members who are suffering from PTSD can have their lives dramatically impacted by this ailment. Any individual can suffer from PTSD, but the men and women of our military forces are returning home suffering from PTSD at an alarming rate.

Treatment for PTSD includes psychotherapy and medications. There are many types of promising therapies including counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, anger management, and group therapies.

The most commonly prescribed medications are Zoloft, Xanax, Prozac, and Paxil. While these drugs may be helpful

in treatment for some, many patients experience adverse side effects from these drugs.

Some side effects include nausea, insomnia, decreased libido, anxiety, and issues with appetite. These side effects may outweigh the benefits for certain patients, driving them to find medicinal alternatives.

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs is challenged with the daunting task of helping the many soldiers returning home with PTSD. Unfortunately, VA doctors are not legally allowed to discuss any other option than FDA approved drugs. Even with the substantial amount of information around cannabis being used as an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs, doctors were not allowed to recommend cannabis. Even worse VA patients that tested positive for cannabis were even turned away from receiving medical attention!

Thankfully there are now significant changes taking place for our soldiers returning home. In November 2015 the Senate Appropriations Committee approved the Veteran’s Medical Marijuana Amendment.

This amendment would allow VA doctors to recommend medical marijuana to patients in states where cannabis is legal. Although the amendment is still waiting to be signed into law, this is an improvement in moving the discussion forward around medical cannabis and PTSD. Cannabis may be effective for patients suffering from PTSD for a variety of reasons. According to multiple research articles, including one study done on post traumatic stress disorder following exposure to the World Trade Center attacks (Hill, Bierer, Makotkine, Golier, Galea, McEwen, Hillard, & Yehuda, 2013), it was noted that reductions in circulating concentrations of endocannabinoids represented a biomarker of stress vulnerability and that “deficient Endocannabinoid signaling is

involved in the biological processes related to PTSD.” This information leads to the discussion of how cannabis, which contains cannabinoids, may assist in the balancing of a deficient Endocannabinoid system. As more evidence supports these findings, our collective has seen an increase in patients seeking relief from PTSD through the use of cannabis.

HPRC carries a wide variety of cannabinoid specific medicine that may benefit PTSD patients. Since insurance companies still do not assist with the costs of medical cannabis, veterans can receive a 10% discount on products at HPRC. It is important that PTSD patients seek the lowest doses possible with cannabis since THC is a psychoactive chemical. Research also supports the biphasic effects of cannabis indicated that cannabis use is beneficial up to a certain point, and past that dose effects may be adverse. Patients find however; that the adverse effects of cannabis are much milder than that of their pharmaceutical alternatives. As always, patients should work with their primary caregiver when making decisions about medicines. Cannabis is not a cure-all, but research and experience has shown the potential for its effectiveness as a tool in the fight against PTSD. The information presented in this article is not to be considered medical advice and is for informational purposes only. Always work with your primary care giver when making decisions about medicine use.

What’s Humboldt Crowd-Funding?

I

f you’re looking for evidence of Humboldt’s generosity, anecdotes alone usually suffice. We have an abundance of local nonprofits, volunteer organizations and do-gooders.

But what about those of us who don’t want to leave the comforting glow of our laptops? Well, the digital age has brought philanthropy to you in the form of crowdfunding websites like Go Fund Me. Here people plead their case to strangers, neighbors and friends to help meet their funding goals for a variety of causes. We were curious about what kinds of requests would tug at Humboldt’s heartstrings, so we typed a couple of local zip codes into Go Fund Me’s search function. Below are our findings, which include petty bills, major accidents and at least one murder mystery.

Top Photos: Busted cars and busted people. Leaving aside one campaign featuring a pensive man with a neck tattoo who needed help with his phone bill, the majority of Go Fund Me campaigns are pleas for help with pictures of people in hospital beds and badly damaged cars. The high cost of traveling out of Humboldt County for medical care is often cited as factor.

Poor Earners: Single moms and disabled vets. Success on crowdfunding sites has a lot less to do with actual need than how big of a reach you have, social-media-wise. This might explain why two

homeless single moms — one trying to move herself and her son back East and another living in a van with her child — received so little attention, as did the touching attempt of one man to buy his veteran friend a van with a wheelchair lift.

Big Winners: Pets and Food. We’re not saying that Humboldt folks put cute dogs and stoners above single moms and veterans, just that pet owners and hungry college students might be better at working their network. Liver shunt therapy for a terrier? Funded. Neuter job for a rescue bunny? Funded. Thirty dollars for pizza?

Done — one generous soul kicked down the majority of the money, saying, “Can’t leave my homies without their munchies!

Blaze one for me!” A pregnant woman living with her elderly uncle in a trailer with a leaky roof? Zero dollars, but it’s still early in the campaign.

The Truly Unique, and the Mysterious. One person transitioning genders requested money for a prosthetic in order to pee standing up, and received a generous outpouring of love and support.

Another wanted a little cash to help an elderly woman on a fixed income who had lost weight “buy new pants” to boost her self-esteem. And the owner of a local hair salon, Ky Oh, is hoping to raise enough money to get a lawyer to investigate her brother’s death.

Choosing the right medical cannabis

Can be confusing at first with so many different and unusual names and choices.

That being said, it is much easier to find a medical cannabis product that will work for you once you have figured out what your desired effect is.

We are learning so much more about this wonderful plant all the time. We now know that aspects of cannabis such as the flavor, contributes to the effect.

Remember, “The nose knows” – So trust your instincts and keep a personal cannabis journal to note how certain strains affect you. One very important factor in choosing the right medicine for yourself is that each strain has a limit to the amount and type of cannabiniods that can be received by your body at a certain time. This is why you gain a tolerance faster to certain strains and others seem to medicate the same way for longer. By choosing to use different strains, and different methods of ingestions, such as using edibles or vaporizing, it is easier to keep your cannabiniod receptors fresh and ready to be activated by the next type of medicine you are using. This will help you conserve your medicine and get the maximum effect from it, and it can also help to reach the desired cannabiniod balance you are looking for. Each patient has an individual reaction to each type of medicine tried, and experimentation with different types of strains and methods of use is essential for the new patient.

In very little time, you’ll be able to determine what works best for you. We are here to help you find what will work best for your needs. Please feel free to come to us with any questions or concerns. We believe in the “Heart of Humboldt” and professional and compassionate care is what you will always receive here.

This Old Grow House

By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

ccording to the latest Humboldt County Economic Index, local home sales have dipped slightly, while mortgage prices have risen. Median home prices — while at nowhere near pre-recession levels — have been climbing steadily since 2012, when your financially secure friends were snapping up starter homes for pennies on the dollar. And quite a few would-be home owners are watching those rising costs and waiting for the deus ex machina of legalization to help realize their dreams.

Balloon payments garnered from a good year’s harvest aren’t generally factored into housing analyses, but common sense dictates that the economic vacuum created by a sharp dip in black market prices might mean quite a few former growers won’t be able to keep up their home payments.

And if the shape of the housing market is in question, the shape of the houses on the market is going to be equally questionable.

Stories of local buildings repurposed for illegal agriculture range from the benign to the horrific. For every smart sinsemilla farmer with a low-impact garage grow, there’s a renter from hell who is turning his or her landlord’s property into a mildew-wracked tear down.

One tenant — who asked not to be named — moved into a former grow house under duress, as she and her partner had struggled to find a place that would take their many pets. The problems included holes in the walls and ceiling where ventilation had been, staples in the walls with black plastic stuck to them, walls warped from high humidity and a mildew problem that sent her to the emergency room.

“If [landlords] don’t care whether or not a house is being grown in, they probably don’t care enough to fix it up afterwards,” she says.

How prevalent are current and former grow houses? One home inspector — who also requested anonymity — says that around 50 percent of the foreclosures he sees have evidence of grows. These foreclosures, which realtors have seen an uptick

Thinkstock.

in recently, may be the canary in the coalmine for the intersection of the marijuana industry and the housing market.

Barry Smith, owner of Barry Smith Construction, says that remodeling grow houses has become an “ongoing issue” in his field. Poorly done vents into sub areas can cause rot and fungus damage and allow entry points for termites and rodents.

“The big challenges we find are the amount of unpermitted and unsafe work that we find,” he says, adding shoddy electrical work to the laundry list of issues that are often present. “Electrical has always been manipulated in one way or another with different levels of competency and safety. I had one where they cut the floor covering out, put down plastic and put dirt right on the floor. We had to gut the place due to water and flood damage.”

According to contracting websites, a ballpark figure of the costs to re-wire, refloor, re-insulate and do mold abatement on a 1,200 square foot structure is between $50,000 and $75,000.

Steve Watson has lots of practical advice for homeowners worried about would-be thieves in search of guns, cash and grass.

Rip-off artists often look for the same things as cops: drawn shades, condensation on the windows and the sound of industrial strength fans. He suggests getting to know your neighbors and emphasizing that the property is under new ownership.

“Home invasion and robbery are a very real risk with grow houses. My experience is that for every one that is reported there are several that go unreported,” Watson says, adding that victims rarely speak to the police.

Cases of innocent neighbors or new homeowners troubled by home invasions are not everyday occurrences, but nor are they rare, according to Watson.

“Sometimes the thugs hit the wrong house by mistake — either based on old or faulty intel or plain human error,” he says. l

Breaking the Cycle Still in crisis, county mental health OKs stabilization plan

By Thadeus Greenson and Linda Stansberry newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

F

or the third time in 15 months, the medical director of the Mental Health Branch of the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services has resigned. The latest resignation, by Dr. Raja Dutta, comes just two months after the local medical society called for a grand jury investigation into the department’s ongoing staffing crisis, saying not enough was being done and warning, ominously, that the department’s “culture is not changing.”

It was just about 11 months ago that mental health’s troubles first bubbled into public view with the joint resignation of the department’s two highest ranking doctors, who happened to be the only psychiatrists staffing the county mental hospital. The departure of doctors Jasen Christensen and Jonathan Greenberg

— who took the unprecedented step of sending a seven-page report to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, blowing the whistle on the departmental mess — caused the county to turn to a third-party psychiatric staffing company in March, offering it $3.5 million to do what the county could not: recruit and retain psychiatrists.

Almost a year later, it’s not easy to find many signs of progress. Traditions Behavioral Health — the company tapped by the county — has averted an outright collapse of the mental health branch, an outcome that seemed possible after Christensen and Greenberg’s resignations threatened to leave one psychiatrist staffing the department where there used to be 10. But the company has largely done so through the use of traveling doctors

and has yet to field the type of permanent, local staff it pledged to deliver.

The facts on the ground remain dire.

In the county’s outpatient program — which provides psychiatric services and prescriptions to about 1,000 people — some patients are waiting months for an appointment. Meanwhile, in the county’s acute care facilities — Sempervirens mental hospital and the Crisis Stabilization Unit — staff continue to express concerns about dangerous working conditions and inadequate patient care. And doctors continue to want out.

But there is a glimmer of hope emerging on the horizon, as Traditions Behavioral Health feels it has zeroed in on part of

the reason the county’s struggled to find stability at Sempervirens — which appears to be the epicenter of the mental health branch’s struggles — and has gotten the OK to revamp the hospital’s staffing structure. Gary Hayes, the company’s founder and president, told the Journal he is optimistic the county’s mental health branch could be fully staffed by July. If so, it would constitute the first time in recent memory that the department is not in need of a psychiatrist.

In a report sent to the board of

supervisors in March, Christensen and Greenberg laid out what they saw as the department’s endemic and entrenched problems. There was the staffing shortage,

which they claimed was the product of the county’s lower-than-market salaries and lackluster recruiting efforts. This caused the county’s psychiatrists to be overworked and, often, to fill shifts outside of their preferred placements. It also necessitated reliance on “locum tenens,” traveling physicians who fill in for short stints. The chronic staffing crisis translated to poor patient care, the doctors argued, with unmanageable caseloads, gaps in coverage and an overwhelmed medical staff. This left doctors frustrated, feeling overworked and underpaid, fearing for both their safety and their exposure to liability.

In the face of these conditions, some doctors left, which exacerbated the situation for those who remained. This vicious cycle continued, Christensen and Greenberg charged, until they were nearly the only ones left with little, if any, prospect of reinforcements arriving. (The pair claimed the department had managed just five candidate interviews over a five-year period despite continuously vacant positions.)

But Christensen and Greenberg’s report hints there are problems within the department that run deeper than staffing levels. At one point, they referenced “day to day frustrations with administrative decisions and the continued effort to deflect responsibility.” At another, they noted that “the medical staff shortage … is only the tip of the iceberg, as it is the result of many underlying problems with the basic administrative and management decisions as they affect patient care, hospital and clinical policies and staff relations.”

Contacted by the Journal recently, Christensen — now working for Open Door Community Health Centers — said he was “unwilling to comment.” Attempts to reach Greenberg were unsuccessful.

In a pair of letters to the board, the Humboldt-Del Norte County Medical Society also made clear that it believes the mental health branch’s issues run deeper than the countywide challenge of recruiting increasingly in-demand doctors to come work in an isolated rural

area. Back in April, society President Jon Nelson wrote, “There is an ingrained and dysfunctional culture that needs fundamental change,” noting that Greenberg and Christensen’s letter came after the pair had worked to resolve the issues internally with the administration and that the letter was “an exceptional step for these physicians to take.”

In a follow-up letter in November, Nelson’s frustration is palpable: “We are sending another letter because the lack of response from the Department of Mental Health, and the director of DHHS to the crisis is discouraging. We have seen little in the way of definable progress.” The letter goes on to state that the medical society has “received reports that it is a pervasive culture of bureaucratic indifference to the input of employees and the community that is toxic to relationships within the Department of Mental Health, and between the community and the department.”

Medical staff in the department, the letter says, “has insufficient authority to direct patient centered care.” The letter goes on to call for a grand jury investigation and a public hearing before the board of supervisors.

Mental health staff interviewed by the Journal, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, fearing retribution for speaking publicly, described an environment in which some administrators are controlling and attempt to micromanage staff, including psychiatrists. “They want to wag the dog,” one employee said. Several employees described situations in which administrators had overruled a psychiatrist’s decision over whether to admit or release a patient.

DHHS administrators have repeatedly pledged publicly to improve communications with staff.

Those who work inside the depart-

ment say the inability to retain staff has created a vicious cycle of dysfunction that

impacts every level of patient care.

In outpatient services, there are two regular doctors where there used to be six. (Two positions remain vacant and two are filled via tele-psychiatry.) A staff member we spoke to — who is in charge of evaluating patients and scheduling them to see a doctor — said staff are booking patients into April. Patients who may need changes to their medications are waiting months to speak to a psychiatrist and the psychiatrist they do see is probably not the one they first met, meaning there is no continuity of patient care.

Patients sometimes run out of their medications before a physician can sign off on a refill.

County mental health services can be viewed as a delicate house of cards: Pull one card and the whole thing is likely to come down. Sempervirens and the Crisis Stabilization Unit are all about acute care, de-escalating and stabilizing people suffering immediate psychiatric emergencies, which are usually exacerbated existing conditions. Sempervirens is not designed for long-term hospitalizations; patients are stabilized and released to outpatient care or transferred to a state or private hospital for ongoing treatment.

So, problems in the outpatient division of mental health — like patients being unable to have ongoing, secure medication supplies that are monitored by a physician — lead more people to crisis states that necessitate acute care. Inadequate acute care releases people back into the community in border-line crisis states.

According to staff, current backlogs in the outpatient unit mean patients are ending up in the crisis stabilization unit, or CSU, with mental health crises that possibly could have been avoided had they

18 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 21, 2016 • northcoastjournal.com

received proper preventative care.

“People come in that have [post traumatic stress disorder], they’re schizoaffective, have borderline personality disorder and are unmedicated,” said one staff member. “I have to tell them they can’t see a doctor until April.”

In an email interview with the Journal, Mental Health Branch Director Asha George said wait times for outpatient appointments with psychiatrists range from two weeks to two “Staff are months, which she said is “too long.” But, she constantly added, “This has not been exclusively due to triaging who the lack of availability of physicians but also needs to be has to do with patients seen soonest.” not showing up for appointments (which is not unusual for chronic — County Mental and complex patients Health Director in any system of care).

Asha George Staff are constantly triaging who needs to be seen soonest.”

Some outpatient workers who feel their patients need a doctor immediately send them to the crisis stabilization unit, which staff says is “completely slammed.”

CSU operates on a medical rather than therapeutic model, meaning those who arrive while in a manic or schizoaffective state are stabilized with a “cocktail” of medications so they won’t be a danger to nurses or other patients. This practice, called “chemical restraint” is frowned upon by the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, but those who work in the unit say it happens with regularity, the product

of an overworked staff trying to keep the facility from devolving into total chaos.

“When they refuse meds, [staff tell them] they won’t be able to get out of their handcuffs or will have to go to Sempervirens,” one staff member said. “Everyone gets medicated and goes to sleep.”

This means some patients leave the facility without having a true psychiatric evaluation because they are too drugged for assessment, said a staff member. A different staffer recalled being asked to make a discharge plan for patients and not being able to talk to them all day, despite going by their beds multiple times to wake them up.

Employees inside Sempervirens have repeatedly asked for an increased security presence because of what they consider unsafe working conditions. Staff have sustained injuries on the job, including broken ribs, according to sources. On some shifts, an entire female staff can be left in charge of large, potentially volatile male patients.

“Nurses,” one staffer said, “can be cornered anywhere, including in a patient’s room.”

Adding to the volatility, staff said it has become more common for law enforcement officers to bring in patients who are still under the influence of controlled substances. Multiple people who work at Sempervirens said this change came after the death of Father Eric Freed, the St. Bernard’s Parish pastor who was beaten to death on New Year’s Day of 2013. Sempervirens, one staffer told the Journal, isn’t built to provide detox services and it’s nearly impossible to conduct a mental health evaluation of someone who’s under the influence of methamphetamine. People under the influence, he said, get little

benefit from being at the facility, yet can pose a danger to staff and other patients.

When asked about his department’s policy dictating when people are taken to Sempervirens for involuntary commitments, Eureka Police Chief Andy Mills said, “Sempervirens will not take people under the influence of meth or other drugs.”

Sitting in the Journal

office one recent afternoon, Traditions Behavioral Health Founder and President Gary Hayes came across as chipper — no small feat, considering he’d left his Napa home at about 6 a.m. that day to make the drive north. He was clad in a pristine gray suit, his brown hair neatly parted to the right.

Hayes recalled a day, some 15 years ago, when his company was just starting up and his phone rang out of the blue. “I got a call asking if I was interested in bringing six psychiatrists up to Humboldt,” he said, smiling slightly. Hayes says he signed on and delivered the needed doctors to help save a department in crisis. It was 2000.

A year and a half later, he got another call, this one from the county asking to buy him out of the contracts and take over employment of the aforementioned psychiatrists. Hayes agreed, and he and Humboldt parted ways, the only time Traditions has seen its contracts bought out, according to Hayes.

Traditions employs about 150 doctors who work at hospitals and facilities throughout the state, Hayes said. The doctors are employees of the company, which contracts with counties, hospitals and other institutions to provide staff.

Generally, Hayes said, his clients are in Continued on page 21 »

a state of crisis when he gets a call. “In order to bring in a company like Traditions Behavioral Health, something bad is happening,” he said, adding that most of his clients ultimately deem the relationship beneficial and have no interested in going back to staffing their own doctors.

Back in 2001, Hayes said, Traditions was new, having opened five years earlier, and didn’t have much of a reputation.

That first staffing of Humboldt, he said, was a feather in the company’s hat. Why? “Because if you can bring six psychiatrists to Humboldt, you can do anything,” he said. Asked why it’s so hard to recruit psychiatrists to come work in Humboldt, Hayes squirmed slightly, perhaps the only point in the nearly hour-long interview where he seemed uncomfortable. “I tell candidates that Humboldt is a five-hour drive from Macy’s,” he said. His point is clear: Humboldt is rural and isolated, not a place that universally appeals to folks making north of a quarter of a million dollars a year with a world of options at their fingertips.

After signing on to again try to save Humboldt’s mental health department from collapse, Hayes said he and his staff analyzed the situation. He said it was “alarming” that doctors here had gone public by sending their concerns to the board of supervisors, and that he feared it would constitute a self-fulfilling prophecy. You call something a crisis enough, he said, and it not only becomes one but stays one.

After signing a $3.5 million contract with the county, Hayes said one of the first calls he made was to Paula Edwalds.

Hayes had recruited Edwalds to come to work for him in Humboldt back in 2001, first as a traveling doc and then perma-

nently. She’d been here 14 years when she resigned in February, following Christensen and Greenberg to the door. In her letter of resignation, Edwalds said she’d made her home in Humboldt and was reluctant to leave, but was frustrated at the state “If you can bring of the department, poor working conditions, her daunting six psychiatrists caseload and the chronic understaffto Humboldt, ing, which often saw her pulled from you can do her child outpatient post to cover shifts anything.” at Sempervirens and the CSU. Hayes said — Traditions he asked Edwalds Behavioral Health to come back to President Gary Hayes work for Traditions in Humboldt and she quickly agreed.

Pressed, he conceded he also offered her a substantial raise from what she’d been making from the county and assured her she would spend all her days doing child

outpatient work, and wouldn’t get pulled to cover shifts at the hospital.

To Hayes, this is emblematic of some of Humboldt’s problems recruiting and retaining doctors. First and foremost, he said, the county’s salaries are below market rate. Second, he said, there’s a lack of understanding of who doctors are and what makes them tick. “You can sort of be forgiven for thinking a psychiatrist is a psychiatrist is a psychiatrist,” he said. “But you really need to understand they have specialties and interests.”

Through the use of his network of traveling physicians, Hayes stabilized staffing in the department and ultimately hired two doctors to take over the day-today coverage of the Sempervirens shifts.

Those two doctors now want out — Dutta, Hayes said, is leaving for personal reasons and the other is switching to outpatient work. Reflecting on the situation, Hayes said he and his staff came to an out-of-the-box solution. “We started thinking, maybe the problem is mathematical,” he said, explaining that having two doctors working Monday through Friday

at Sempervirens leaves the department vulnerable. “When you have four feet on a stool, it’s stable. When you have two prongs on the stool, it is not.”

Hayes is now switching to what he calls a “shift” staffing model at Sempervirens.

Currently and historically, the county has depended on two doctors to each work parallel 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. shifts on weekdays, providing 16 hours a day of psychiatric service in the hospital. Beginning in February, one doctor will provide the same 16 hours of service by working a 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. shift. This, Hayes said, will allow the county to employ four doctors at the facility, each of whom will work no more than 10 days a month, logging no more than 160 hours — the same as a 9-to-5er would. The cost to the county will be about the same, he said.

The advantage of this model, Hayes said, is it will be far more attractive to prospective doctors, as they will have some 20-plus days off a month, allowing them more down time and the opportunity to travel out of the area. It will Continued on page 23 »

about the way the county mental health department is run, Hayes didn’t seem overly concerned. He said Traditions simply doesn’t stick around in situations that aren’t fixable. “If we find administration impossible, we don’t stay. It’s that simple,” he said. But he conceded that, from a doctor’s perspective, there have been some issues.

“Administrators can be preoccupied with details that don’t seem important on the floor — there can be a disconnect there,” he said. And, Hayes said, part of his job is addressing those things, acting

When it comes to other concerns

as a buffer between administrators and his physicians. For example, Hayes said he’s worked with local administrators to revamp the admissions criteria to Sempervirens, making sure the patients admitted to the facility belong there.

And, he said, he tells his doctors very clearly: “Don’t fuck with administration.

If you have a problem, turn to us and say, ‘Make this go away.’”

George said Traditions has worked to make sure folks being admitted to Sempervirens are suffering from “acute psychiatric conditions that cannot be managed or resolved through crisis stabilization services,” allowing for better utilization of the CSU. The director “If we find described the county’s relationship with administration Traditions as a “work in progress,” but impossible, we struck an optimistic tone. “Dealing with don’t stay. It’s complex human systems is never easy, that simple.” but Dr. Hayes and his team have been — Traditions receptive to our Behavioral Health questions and concerns,” she wrote.

President Gary Hayes “Communication is good, and obviously staffing levels are much better. Patient care is improving, and obviously that’s what matters most.”

For his part, Hayes said the key for Humboldt County’s mental health crisis is stabilization, breaking the cycle it’s been mired in for years. The first step is adequate, consistent staffing. Then, some of the cultural problems that have publicly spilled over can start to be addressed.

To that end, Hayes said he’s also asking the county to hand over the staffing of two outpatient psychiatrists — positions the county retained staffing control over when contracting with Traditions back in March but has been unable to fill — to him. He said he’s already got psychiatrists willing to come on board, he just needs the OK to hire them. George, meanwhile, said the county is considering contracting out one of those vacant positions to Traditions, but negotiations are ongoing.

In many ways, the Mental Health branch is like patients entering Sempervirens: It’s in desperate need of acute care so it can be stabilized and a long-term plan can be developed. Traditions’ chief task has been that initial stabilization but, 10 months after its contract was inked, the crisis remains. ●

I S ION VCENTER

ON THE-GO:

decrease burnout, he said, and also allow more flexibility, so if one doctor leaves it won’t send Sempervirens’ staffing into crisis, starting the trickle-down effect that impacts other mental health units.

Hayes said the staffing model also affords a better continuum of care for patients, as the same doctor will be in the facility throughout the day to monitor the effects of new medications and treatments.

Additionally, and importantly, Hayes said it will double the daily window in which a doctor is in the facility, allowing for after-hours doctor-to-doctor calls from local hospitals. It will also greatly decrease the amount of time in which no doctor is present at the facility to screen involuntary commitments from local law enforcement officers. Hayes conceded this has been a problem, with officers sometimes bringing people to the hospital who don’t belong there, whether it is because they are under the influence or don’t meet admissions criteria.

In her email interview with the Journal, George, the mental health director, sounded optimistic about the new staffing plan, echoing some of the same benefits that Hayes listed, including that there will now be a physician on site to oversee ongoing admissions and discharges until 11 p.m.

Others don’t seem so sure about the proposal. Two people who regularly work in Sempervirens told the Journal the shift model is concerning. They pointed to studies that show physician error rates increase after 12 hours on the job, and also questioned what would happen if there were two incidents that demanded immediate physician attention at the same time.

Asked to assess the potential positives and negatives of the new system, George’s email only listed the aforementioned hoped-for benefits.

Gluten-free fish and chips

he British are not really known for creative additions to the world’s culinary scene, but fish and chips became traditional pub fare for a reason. And few dishes go better with a warm fire in the wood stove on a rainy North Coast winter night than a hot, crispy batch of fish and chips. There are many ways to fry a fish and just as many folks out there claiming that their recipe is the best. The recipe below is both simple and delicious, and as far as being “the best,” well, I think it so but I’ll let you decide. Using a beer batter with rice flour rather than wheat, you’ll get rockfish that’s golden-brown and perfectly crispy every time. If you are looking for a healthy meal filled with nutrients and vitamins … maybe make a salad tonight.

But if you’re in the mood to splurge on some fantastic pub food, this is the recipe for you. Bonus: If you, a relative or a friend happens to be gluten intolerant, you can still enjoy this classic (condiments notwithstanding).

When you are looking for spuds for making delicious chips to accompany your fish, I give my recommendation to our local organic and sustainable farms. I used to work at Paul Guintoli’s Warren Creek Farms, and the memory of pulling massive

russet potatoes out of the earth and stacking crate after crate of those organic spuds is firmly and fondly rooted in my mind. I once asked Guintoli how he grew such large, healthy potatoes, to which he replied with a chuckle, “Don’t water them!” I thought he was joking at first, but he uses an ancient technique called “dry farming” whereby alluvial sediments are specifically tilled to promote rapid root growth right down into the water table.

Sure, you can use any old potato, but in my opinion our local farmers grow the tastiest.

As far as the fish is concerned, you can get many local line-caught fish at markets like Wildberries, the Northcoast Co-op or Ray’s. If you are an angler, even better.

Though traditionally fish and chips are made with cod, California has no native true cod. My favorite local species to use in this dish are lingcod, cabezon, vermillion rockfish (commonly referred to as “red snapper”) and black rockfish (occasionally referred to as “black snapper”). Each of these will make lip-smacking fish and chips that will be remembered for years to come (no joke — friends and relatives often reminisce about them). Keep in mind that this beer batter can also be used to fry small cubes of fish for fish tacos. northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 21, 2016

Ingredients and method: 4 medium russet potatoes Canola or other heart-healthy oil (not olive, as it cannot take high heat) 2 pounds boneless fish fillets 1 cup rice flour (and extra for dredging) ¼ teaspoon salt 1/ 8 teaspoon mild chipotle chili powder 1 gluten-free beer (I prefer Omission pale ale) Lemon wedges Condiments: Ketchup, tartar sauce and/or malt vinegar For the chips These take more prep and cook time, so cook them before the fish.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into ¼-inch-thick and 2- to 4-inch-long sticks.

Cover them with water and set aside. If you leave these exposed to the air for more than a few minutes, the surface will oxidize and your fries-to-be will turn brown like apple slices left out on the counter. CAUTION: Before frying, dry your soaked potato wedges by thoroughly dabbing with a paper towel. If you do not, the added moisture will cause the oil to splatter and pop everywhere, making a dangerous mess.

Next, heat at least 2 inches of oil in the bottom of a pot over medium-high or high heat (depending on your stove).

Have some clean paper bags or paper towels stacked on a plate nearby to drain your fried morsels. You will know the oil is ready when you dip the end of one of the fires in and it sizzles rapidly. Drop this tester fry in — it should sink almost to the bottom before floating back to the surface where it will remain and cook. If your oil starts to smoke, it is too hot. Side note:

When frying anything, it is always smart to keep a box of baking soda on hand, as smothering a potential grease fire with the stuff, or covering the fire with a metal lid, is still the quickest and safest way to put it out.

Once the fries are cooked (about 20 minutes) and cooling on the paper, fry them again. To make a good batch of French fries or “chips,” you must fry your potatoes twice. There are some who doubt this age-old wisdom and they routinely make soggy, unappetizing excuses for fries. Trust me; fry the spuds twice and you will not regret it. Once your chips are golden brown and perfectly crispy, sprinkle them with sea salt or mix things up a bit by adding some diced chives and/or garlic. Set them aside in a 150 F oven while you get to the fish.

For the fish In a bowl, mix the rice flour, salt and chili powder. Stir in just enough beer to give the mixture the consistency of pancake batter.

Next, cut your boneless filets into 2-by4-inch strips or 2-by-2-inch chunks. Dust these in rice flour, dip them in the batter so they are thoroughly coated and add them to your perfectly heated oil. A drip of batter before you add the fish can be first used to test the heat of the oil. Once the first piece of fish is golden brown all over, extract it from the oil using a strainer spoon and place it on a bed of paper towels or clean paper bags to drain. Once it has cooled a bit, break this piece in half to be sure that the fish flakes with ease all the way through the center, indicating that it is fully cooked. Eat this tester piece while no one is looking so they don’t get jealous. Now fry the rest of your fish. Serve your beautiful, golden-brown, crispy fish and chips with a side of lemon wedges, tartar sauce, ketchup and malt vinegar. l

The Best Medicine

Getting a lift from laughter yoga

By Louisa Rogers

getout@northcoastjournal.com

I

was not in a light mood the damp Monday afternoon when I headed over to the Om Shala Yoga Center in Arcata to attend my first laughter yoga session. It was two days after the Paris attacks, and the troubles of the world, not to mention my own private worries, hovered over me. That line by Wordsworth, “The world is too much with us,” echoed in my mind. At least it’s only 45 minutes, I thought. Maybe it will be canceled for lack of people. Global problems aside, I was skeptical. I had done the group exercise where you form a chain on the floor with your head on the next person’s belly. One person’s belly laugh triggers the next person’s and so on, until you become one big floppy, amoebic mass of rolling laughter.

That’s the theory, anyway. To me, it had felt contrived.

Inside the dimly lit center, instructor Ferryn Caldwell signed me in and gave me a waiver and release form to fill out. I had never thought of laughter as a liability, but we do live in California, after all. I handed her the form, then wandered around the empty room, pausing at the window and staring out at the low-hanging clouds and the alley below. I watched as a guy in a hooded sweatshirt and dark baggy pants sauntered down the alley, turned to face a

chain-link fence and peed.

Hearing a clamor of voices, I turned to see a troop of young women bouncing in, all fresh-faced and smiling. “HSU?” I asked one. “Nope, we’re friends at Arcata High,” she said. Soon we were eight: a lithe woman in her 50s who turned out to be the meta-instructor who had trained many of the local Humboldt Laughter Yoga facilitators, the five high schoolers, Caldwell and me.

We gathered in a circle and, without any preamble, Caldwell led us in our first stretching exercise. We bent down to the ground and then stretched our arms skyward, punctuating our swoops with what she called “unconditional” laughter — meaning laughter that occurs without a trigger. It’s the way babies laugh, I suppose.

Babies don’t need a joke or comedy to stimulate their laughter; they just gurgle and giggle.

She led us in a series of exercises. We sashayed around the room, hopping and skipping, whooping and laughing. We started to shake hands but then leapt back and shrieked as though we had had an electric shock.

We role-played different styles of Continued on next page »

laughter: laughing the way a baby would, a shy laugh, an evil laugh. One of the Arcata High School girls suggested “high-class” laughing, and we sneered at each other with haughty looks. When I suggested flirty laughter, we giggled coquettishly. We pretended we were dogs. We laughed in silence and argued in gibberish. In between each set, we walked around skipping, clapping and chanting, “Ho, ho, ha, ha, ha!”

We didn’t practice “yoga.” No downward dogs, sun salutations or twists. Just lots of playful movement and snickers, chortles and guffaws.

At times I had to “work” at the role-playing, the skeptic in me still eye-rolling secretly. (Next time, I’ll co-opt my skepticism by suggesting “cynical” laughter.) But as the momentum in our little group built, my skepticism faded.

Something touched me about being with a bunch of people who were just being silly, forgetting the pain of the world.

All that laughing felt more active than I expected, but according to the book Laughter for the Health of It, by hypnotherapists Dave Berman (a former Arcata resident) and Kelley T. Woods, laughter is fundamentally a physical action. Our muscles stretch, our abs contract, our pulse goes up and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues. Not only is laughing a light cardio workout, they go on to say, it has emotional benefits. Whenever we laugh, the body produces dopamine and other “happy” endorphins — whether we’re laughing at something we find funny or for no reason at all.

physician named Madan Kataria founded the organization Laughter Yoga International. Since then, the movement has gone global and now boasts about 10,000 laughter clubs in more than 100 countries, which includes a few in Humboldt County.

In our final exercise, Caldwell had us lie on the floor and do the belly laugh chain.

Uh-oh, I thought. But this time, maybe because I had been loosening up for 45 minutes, I enjoyed it and my laughter bubbled up from deep below.

The next day my spirits were lighter, my voice was hoarse and my stomach was sore. Maybe a bout of “serious” laughter really is a workout. l

Medicinal Flowers

By Heather Jo Flores

I

am primarily a food gardener, but there are a handful of flowering medicinal plants that I always include in my garden. Not only useful for home remedies, they provide beautiful cut flowers, improve soil and attract beneficial insects. Many of the plants listed here are commonly bred and cross-bred to produce ornamental variations, so be sure to note the species and choose the non-hybrid option.

Here are my 10 favorite medicinal flowers and some tips on how to grow and use them.

Angelica (Angelica archangelica) A tall, self-seeding biennial that smells amazing and puts out thick stalks with clusters of tiny flowers. Angelica has a wide range of uses, from tummy aches to menstrual issues. The large umbels attract beneficial wasps that will eat more troublesome insect pests. It grows easily in part shade. Give it some room on the edge of the garden so it doesn’t crowd out your other plants.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) I scatter calendula seed around the garden wherever there is bare soil. It grows almost anywhere and is easy enough to remove when you decide to put something else in its place. A common ingredient in salves, calendula is known to heal the skin from sunburn, rashes and scrapes.

Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) A gorgeous biennial aromatic, clary sage is one of my favorite plants of all time. The smell is said to help cure depression and the long stalks of purple flowers are beautiful in a vase. Attracts bees and hummingbirds.

N!

Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) Known as a powerful antibiotic and antiviral medicine, echinacea is an easy-togrow perennial that puts out large purple flowers for several months a year. If you start it from seeds, be sure to cold-stratify them by putting them in the fridge for a couple of weeks before planting.

Bumblebees love it!

Elecampane (Inula helenium) A large, leafy biennial that produces yellow daisy-like flowers. Elecampane is known for medicinal properties that help with lung problems, congestion, colds and the like.

Hops (Humulus lupulus) Not a traditional cut flower, but try some vines of blooming hops in a flower arrangement.

They look amazing! This is one of my favorite plants to make into tincture and use as a sleep aid. Plus, you know, beer.

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) Another wonderful sleep tincture, passionflowers also attract a wide range of beneficial insects. The flowers are stunning and the perennial, evergreen vines grow easily on a fence or trellis. The

“If you cut yourself in the garden, grab some yarrow, chew on it for a minute and put it on the wound.

It will help stop the bleeding.”

plants can be slow to start but once they take off, watch out!

Rose (Rosa canina) Also known as “dog rose,” this is my favorite species to use for rose hips. Rose hips are rich in vitamin C. Mix with apple peel and vanilla bean to make a delicious tea that is safe for children and the whole family.

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) No garden is complete without a patch of valerian. They prefer sun but will do fine in part shade as well. The flowers smell delicious — not as pungent as the roots, which are the part that is most commonly used as a medicinal. Valerian root is used as muscle relaxant, a calming herb, and in folklore is commonly said to help cure heartbreak. Cut flowers also look wonderful in a bouquet.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) If you cut yourself in the garden, grab some yarrow, chew on it for a minute and put it on the wound. It will help stop the bleeding. I like to harvest the leaves and flowers, dry them, powder them and keep in a jar to use as a styptic.

Finally, please remember that I am not an herbalist nor am I a doctor, and so I’m indicating common usages for these plants, based on my personal knowledge and experience. But don’t just take my word for it! Take an herbal medicine class, do your own research and/or consult with your doctor. l Heather Jo Flores wrote Food Not Lawns, How to Turn Your Yard into a Garden and Your Neighborhood into a Community.

Setlist

Keepin’ It Real

By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

W

hat separates good art from bad art? What is an underlying characteristic of art that lasts through the ages? What is it that makes a painting worthy to hang indefinitely at a museum? What is it that ensures a song will be played on the radio for decades as opposed to dying a quiet death after a few weeks? What compels a writer to begin a piece with rhetorical questions?

I can’t claim to have a definitive answer to any of these, but I believe a good answer to the first four would have something to do with authenticity.

There is something about being authentic, or true, or real, that we desire as humans and art lovers. Something about the artist injecting an element of their nature, or of the broader human condition into their art — if done well — warrants our constant revisiting and contemplation of said art. All art is in some way derivative of art that preceded it. We all stand on the shoulders of someone, the old saying goes, but those who create something mostly unique have a better chance of standing out in the crowd. Imitation may earn short term accolades — and isn’t entirely useless — but is hardly the recipe to survive a generation.

So it was with a certain amount of delight that I read a quote from Pete Bernhard of The Devil Makes Three (DM3) fame. Guitarist Bernhard says, “The lyrical content isn’t about hard-rock miners or ... the things Woody Guthrie would have written about. I don’t like the idea of becoming a historical re-enactment.”

Although broadly categorized by some as “punkish bluegrass,” the trio isn’t content recycling tried and true themes of bluegrass or old-time/old-timey music. If a banjo is occasionally involved, must one sing constantly of Appalachia or moonshiners? Must a band sing about tilling the earth, jugs of contraband whiskey, or wear plaid, just because they don’t have a drummer? Of course not, but you’d be forgiven for thinking this is a secret kept from many artists. Perhaps it can be argued that the creation of authentic lyrical content — and not just becoming a historical re-enactment — is what sets DM3 apart from many other “bluegrassy” trios. Head to HSU’s West Gym on Sunday to find out.

Friday The Blue Lake Casino and Hotel hosts local funk masters The Getdown. It’s a free show, but pace yourself, as you can begin to get down around 9 p.m. and it won’t let up until close to 1 a.m.

For some live electronic music, head over to Humboldt Brews for an album release party with The Human Experience, the brainchild of David Block.

Prepare yourself for some mind expanding “prismatic” beats and rhythms. Joining this human experience will be BOA performing with Kalishakti and also on board for the night is 9 Theory. $18 cover charge for this party, and a 10 p.m. start time.

Saturday Last weekend, I had the pleasure of bumping into two members of Wild Otis at a wedding (not theirs). We discussed various bands and models of electric basses, but more importantly, their show at the Mad River Brewery. They’ll be performing under the big tent at 6 p.m. and they’ll be doing it for free.

You cookers, bakers and wannabe chefs know that cooking in an old kitchen can be no fun. New and updated appliances and gear can be the difference between a culinary flow or an Epicurean disaster.

Okay, I don’t really know what I’m talking about here, but the good folks at the Bayside Grange are holding a benefit for their Kitchen Fund. Helping them raise some monies are Kenny Ray & The Mighty Rovers, who will provide you opportunities to tap your toes to some “roots country, honky-tonk, and big band swing.” Your tastebuds will be delighted when dinner is served at 6:30 p.m., with music starting an hour after that. $8 will be your contribution to the Kitchen Fund.

Redwood Curtain Brewery host the LaPatina Band at 8 p.m. The LaPatinas will dole out stories and songs that’ll hit you where you most need it. Since it’s a free show, feel free to leave a tip or beer for the band, just don’t mention the Packers’ recent elimination to frontman Jeff DeMark.

Also free are multi-generational classic rockers Doug Fir and the 2x4s who will be jamming your favorites at the Bear River Casino and Hotel.

The Devil Makes Three.

Photo courtesy of the artist

At the famous Logger Bar in Blue Lake, local psychedelic-desert-space rockers Opossum Sun Trail will join interstellar-dirge rockers Strix Vega at 9 p.m. for a free show. (Full disclosure, SV’s bass player pretends to be a keyboardist much like he pretends to be a writer.)

Sunday You’d be forgiven to think that this would be a sleepy Sunday in our neck of the woods, but it’s jam-packed with options. An early show at the Lighthouse Grill in Trinidad has JD Jeffries with Jim Bowen starting around 5 p.m. for free.

As mentioned above, The Devil Makes Three will be at HSU’s West Gym with Parker Millsap (a “Leo DiCaprio lookalike,” from what I hear) opening. Both have opened for The Old Crow Medicine Show, so that must mean something. $25 will get HSU students into this show, for alumni and everyone else, $33 with an 8 p.m. showtime.

On the road supporting the new album Space is Still the Place, Austin indie-rockers The Bright Light Social Hour are making a stop in Arcata before heading up to Eugene. With some pop hooks, bluesrock and psychedelic weavings, expect to dance to upbeat offerings, and sway and tilt when the band stretches and spaces out at Humboldt Brews. Welcome these road warriors with $10 at 9 p.m.

Tuesday Lots of new albums are being supported by touring bands up here in Humboldt,

and that’s a great thing. Courtney of The Lost Luvs tells me that “Seattle all-lady supergroup” Childbirth will be at The Shanty in Eureka supporting its album Women’s Rights. Featuring members of Tacocat, Ponytime and Chastity Belt, Childbirth is getting some great help from “one woman mystical pop punker” Lisa Prank and aforementioned local femme fatales, The Lost Luvs. 9 p.m., cover charge TBA.

Wednesday Recently I’ve found myself checking out videos of bass player par excellence, Jaco Pastorius. Either an influence to many bass players, or a reminder that we’re not really that good on the four strings, Jaco’s work with Weather Report blew a lot of minds.

Some of those minds, I’m guessing, belong to Kung Fu, who mention the Report as an influence alongside the Headhunters and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Blending that with some contemporary EDM (electronic dance music), this is guaranteed to be a funky groovin’ night. Rounding out the bill are local rockers Free Rain starting off the show at 9 p.m. $15 will make you a musical witness at Humboldt Brews.

Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com. ● Andy Powell is a congenital music lover and hosts The Night Show on KWPT 100.3 FM weeknights at 6 p.m. He tries not to let his musical taste dictate his fashion.

Calendar January 21 - January 28, 2016 Courtesy of the Peking Acrobats

For 30 years, The Peking Acrobats, China’s best tumblers, contortionists, gymnasts and jugglers, have been delighting audiences around the world. Appearing for the second time in SoHum, the performers bring their gravity-defying show, complete with live musicians and dazzling costumes, back to the Mateel Community Center on Jan. 26 at 7:30 p.m. ($35 advance, TBA at door). They’ll tumble for ya.

Are You Lonesome Tonight?

ZOUNDS! Episode 9: The Farce Awakens! No need to travel to a galaxy far, far away for adventure, excitement and laser-sharp wit.

Redwood Curtain Theatre’s hilarious original live radio production and dinner returns to the Sapphire Palace on Jan. 23 at 8 p.m. ($55, $400/table of 8). Doors open at 5 p.m. for cocktails, raffle and live auction, with dinner starting at 6:15.

Girls! Girls! Girls!

Jan. 8 would have been Elvis Presley’s 81st birthday, and every year around this time, fans gather at parties, tributes and theme nights to celebrate the King of Rock and Roll. This weekend sees the Big E in action on screen and onstage (in spirit) at two hip-shakin’ events.

It’s Elvis, Elvis, Elvis in Girls! Girls! Girls! at the Eureka Theater on Jan. 22 at 7:30 p.m. ($5). Elvis plays a Hawaiian fishing guide who loves the simple life and, you know, two women at the same time. Like one does when trying to keep things simple. There’s fisticuffs, singing, girls in bikinis, singing and more singing. Toss on your coolest coconut-button shirt and enjoy a tropical cocktail in the lounge before the show. This one’s sponsored by the folks at The Banana Hut Hawaiian BBQ (where they know a thing or two about rocking a lei and keeping things Aloha).

Next up, Bear River Casino hosts one of the best Elvis impersonators to slip on the sequins and hop into a jumpsuit when Travis Powell and his sideburns roll into town Jan. 23 for the Ultimate Elvis Extravaganza at 8 p.m. ($25, $150 VIP). The audience will be thanking the full-lipped, loose-hipped crooner very much for the experience.

Since they’re on different nights, you don’t have to choose between the two (take note, Elvis on a boat). Just make it an all-Elvis weekend. If the King taught us anything, it’s that more is more.

Champing at the Bit

Coming of age and arrested development

By David Jervis

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

MUSTANG. Five sisters, on the last day of school in their coastal Turkish village, wander down to the beach in their school uniforms, splash in the water and play chicken with some of boys from the school who have trailed them down there, laugh and squabble, and then head for home. But when they arrive, the familiar joy of summer ends: Tipped off by a neighbor, their grandmother slaps them for their unseemly conduct around the boys, and their angry uncle vows stern retribution to maintain their virtue.

Mustang, a nominee for best foreign language film at this year’s Oscars, is the debut feature from Turkish-French filmmaker Deniz Gamze Ergüven. It’s an audacious, excellently drawn story of the world within the walls of a household drawing tighter around sisters Sonay (Ilayda Akdogan), Selma (Tugba Sunguroglu), Ece (Elit Iscan), Nur (Doga Zeynep Doguslu) and Lale (Günes Sensoy), while the world beyond the walls comes rapidly into focus. Distractions such as phones, computers and magazines are locked away. Their uncle takes the eldest girls to a doctor for virginity tests. Local women come by the house

to instruct the girls on how to make soup and dolmas. The same women return with young male relatives looking to marry.

The title of the film makes a clear comparison between unbridled wild horses able to run free, and the rigid rules around the girls’ home as they test their limits. The perspective of the story shifts very effectively to that of the youngest, Lale (in a remarkable performance by Sensoy), who also provides periodic narration through the film.

There could be obvious comparisons to The Virgin Suicides, but Mustang fits better into to the cinematic subgenre of seeing the world through the eyes of a child beginning to process her own perspective and take mind of the rights and wrongs of the world that the audience itself already sees. Much as we see Scout come to subtly grasp the racial injustices and class divides of the Jim Crow South in To Kill a Mockingbird, through Lale we get an increasingly clear-eyed view of an insidiously unfair patriarchal status quo. And, as any good heroine must, she eventually sees that she must fight her way free of that system.

For its depiction of a stifling environment, Ergüven’s film has a free-moving,

naturalistic and almost documentary-like feel to it, and its ensemble of young actresses does exceptional work.

All the action is ably assisted by the underlying musical score by longtime Nick Cave collaborator Warren Ellis. Mustang’s opening sequence sets a marker for what it’s like to have your whole life ahead of you, and then slyly winds its way into showing the importance of grabbing that back when it is taken away. PG-13. 97m. RICHARDS’ GOAT TAVERN & TEA ROOM. RIDE ALONG 2. Not surprisingly, a sequel to the affably amusing Ride Along has landed, and … well, wanna guess? Crafting follow-ups to Hollywood’s not-bad one-offs has bedeviled the biz since Louise Brooks’ day, and it ain‘t usually pretty.

James (Ice Cube) and Ben (Kevin Hart) are now mismatched Atlanta police officers and nearly brothers-in-law. A case calls them to Miami, where the movie opens, as it apparently must under federal mandate, with an overhead shot of bikini-clad women dancing on a gigantic yacht with the glittering skyline as a backdrop. I’ll halt for a second to say that Cube and Hart do have fine comic

chemistry together but this is another case of a movie in which the very act of viewing it enters a weird meta zone that blurs between actually watching it or imagining a parody of it while on a long walk. Back to the guesswork, dear readers. Will there be a prominent Miami tycoon who might be a villainous drug dealer? Will there be a comic-relief hacker who stole millions from the villain? Will there be an angry lieutenant who threatens our heroes with suspension? Yes to the first two, and on the third there are actually two, since we’re in both Atlanta and Miami here, jurisdiction-wise. Also, car chases, a stakeout at the port and explosions. Check out Cube and Hart doing much better work picking up a piñata and dropping by a dispensary with Conan O’Brien on his website; it’s free for the viewing. PG-13.

ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS: ROAD CHIP. The singing rodents you can either stand or you can’t are out to thwart the romance of their handler Dave (Jason Lee) and keep the band together. PG. 86m. FORTUNA. THE BIG SHORT. Director Adam McKay helms a talented cast (Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling) in a brilliant, entertaining, troubling movie about the madness of the subprime mortgage crisis with real emotion that succeeds as art and cultural commentary. R. 130m.

DADDY’S HOME Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as dueling fathers in predictable and innocuous comedy that offers laughs nonetheless. With a good supporting turn by Hannibal Buress.

PG13. 96m.

THE FOREST. Natalie Dormer plays a woman searching for her twin in the haunted suicide-magnet woods at the

foot of Mt. Fuji. PG13. 93m.

THE HATEFUL EIGHT. Director Quentin Tarantino’s excellent Western locked-room mystery draws on history and hate, especially race-hate, in a long, talky drama that still delivers signature quirks and brutality. With Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson and Jennifer Jason Leigh. R. 187m.

JOY. David O. Russell’s story of a young, down-on-her-luck divorcee-turned-inventress (Jennifer Lawrence) is compelling if unsurprising.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. The writing and visuals are a bit too faithful to the original, but they work in this nostalgic return. Leads John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are as compelling as more familiar faces. PG13. 135m. FORTUNA. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill l

Patrick Conlin

January 22, 1941 – January 16, 2016

A Celebratory Potluck will be held at the Arcata Veterans Hall on Friday January 22nd at 4 pm.

Pat Conlin died peacefully at home Saturday night January 16th. Carol was with him, and the kids and sister Mary and her John and nephew David. Love redolent in the air of the room. Patrick had been fending off one annoying malady after another for some years, never letting any of it get in his way, but this last thing took him like a storm at sea, leaving family and friends roiling at his loss.

Born to Joseph and Gertrude Conlin in 1941 in West Baltimore, he had two older sisters, Sheila and Mary, who remained fiercely protective of him always, and after younger brother Paul was born, the family moved to Boston, a rowdy, happy Irish crowd.

Always a good boy, at seventeen Pat set off to the Alexian Brothers Nursing Order in Wisconsin where he learned many useful skills — gardening, kitchen work, care for others — all of which he would use long after deciding the monk’s cowl was not for him. He joined the Navy in 1963, serving as a radioman in Hawaii, the Philippines and Vietnam. Discharged in Long Beach, Pat made his way to Humboldt and the Eureka Naval Reserve unit commanded by Art Fort. He took an AA degree from CR in carpentry and began his varied work life in Humboldt, building houses, working in mills in Arcata and Hoopa, and for twenty years in the custodial unit at Humboldt State. He made lasting friendships wherever he went.

When Pat and Carol Davis met at the Jambalaya, Carol already had Catlin and Stu and when they all looked very like a family, the adults married and the children became Conlins. Great music and wonderful food marked this beginning and punctuated all the years to follow. They spent twenty years building a beautiful and festive home on a hill above West End Road, Pat’s pride, and then made welcoming homes in Arcata and Willow Creek.

Together Pat and Carol catered many a Humboldt function, bringing healthy and hearty food and their own good will to every event, be it fundraiser, anniversary party, art opening or soccer camp. When the little space next door to Wildwood Music became available, they opened Pacific Rim Noodle House, providing healthy and delicious take-out to a steady stream of appreciative customers.

Never idle, Pat continued to work every job imaginable while Carol ran the noodle house and developed sauces for the market. Pat’s work ethic and unflagging energy made everything possible and kept it all rolling along. Through the years Pat was a committed recycler, confirmed busybody, and champion for renewable energy. He lived his life as he chose, and he chose well, enriching the lives of those around him with his cheerful outlook, willingness to pitch in, and perseverance through any setback or hurdle. We will feel the absence of this dependable and precious man in our town in countless ways.

He leaves his sisters, Sheila and Mary, brother Paul and their families, his adored wife, Carol Davis, his daughter and son, Catlin and Stuart, Stu’s wife Larissa and grandchildren, Taylor, Kameron and Keva. And a raft of friends near and far.

A Celebratory Potluck will be held at the Arcata Veterans Hall on Friday January 22nd at 4 pm. Yes, there will likely be some singing. You will be needed to set up the tables and tap the keg since Pat is taking that day off. He’s earned it.

Is the Dodo Effect Dead?

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

I

n 1936, American psychologist Saul Rosenzweig published a paper in The American Journal of Orthopsychiatry that made waves still felt 80 years later. Reviewing the various types of talk therapy available at the time, he noted that “no type of psychotherapy is without cures to its credit,” and the “dodo effect,” as he called it, was the likely cause. In Alice in Wonderland, the dodo was asked to decide the winner of a race. “Everybody has won and all must have prizes,” he declared. Same with talk therapies, proposed Rosenzweig: They all work equally well.

Why? Not for the reasons promulgated by their proponents, but simply due to human nature. Once troubled souls have signed up — be it for interpersonal therapy, neurolinguistic programming, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), psychoanalysis, or any of the dozens of other approaches — they’ve persuaded themselves to expect a positive outcome. After that, having a skilled and sympathetic therapist who they believe will help them is often all it takes to effect a cure — a sort of placebo response.

Whether it’s as straightforward as this or not has been a major point of contention in the mental health field since the 1930s. Having followed this debate for some decades, and believing that on balance Rosenzweig’s dodo effect hypothesis was probably correct, I was caught short by a Danish report published in the January 2014 American Journal of Psychiatry claiming that a particular type of therapy was the clear winner when it came to treating bulimia.

Bulimia nervosa is a devastating eating disorder in which sufferers, in obsessing about their weight and body shape, take laxatives or make themselves vomit after bouts of binge eating. It affects teens in particular; about 1 percent of 13-to18-year-old adolescents in this country

Alice and the dodo bird by Sir John Tenniel. experience the condition at some point, with many reporting suicidal fantasies or actual attempts. To assess the two most commonly prescribed therapies, psychoanalysis and CBT, researchers at the University of Copenhagen randomly assigned 70 bulimics to one program or another.

The psychoanalysis group members each spent two years in weekly sessions in which they were encouraged to discuss, and then to accept, buried feelings and desires, in order to negate the underlying causes of bulimia. In contrast, clients in the CBT group only received five months of weekly sessions in which subjects targeted their symptoms without reference to historical causes; CBT maintains that bulimics believe weight and body shape determine their self-worth, and that recovery lies in challenging and negating this belief.

Long story short: five months into treatment, 42 percent of the CBT group had ceased their “binge-purge” episodes, compared with 6 percent of the group in psychoanalysis. At two years, 44 percent of the CBT group were free from bulimia (despite receiving no therapy for 19 months) compared with 15 percent of the psychoanalysis group. Which gives real hope to bulimics — CBT really can make a difference in just a few months. (Added benefit: it’s much easier to train CBT practitioners than psychoanalysts!)

In the big picture, this study appears to disprove the dodo effect; some therapies really are more effective for specific conditions. Which I suppose may not be all that surprising, considering the incredible complexity of both human behavior and the human brain. ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) wonders what happened to “gestalt” groups, his chosen therapy of many moons past. (It didn’t fix him.)
